It was night, and most had left townhall for home. Still, a few lights from the windows danced on the nearby river.
Vincent strolled up to the scenic courtyard in front of the building and waited.

James ambled along the pathway that ran alongside the river,drawing deeply on his cigarette.He wondered what sort of job that had lined up for him this time. His contact was out the front of the building,James threw away his cigarette butt and approached him.

"Hello Mr. Viktor.", Vincent greeted him, "I'll keep this short. You know the mayor?"
He pulled out a picture of the towns mayor, Peter Collins.
"Kill him. Here is the skeleton key. If you need any resources, meet me at this address, I'll be there after they close, for one hour."
Vincent handed him the address for a local pub. Satisfied, he left.

James shouted after Vincent.
"Why the mayor,he is a top line official I could be sent away for a long time if I get caught."

"Don't get caught", Vincent replied, disappearing into the shadows. Had he overestimated James? Possibly... if James failed or not, the point would still get through. It was time for change in Kaora.

James preferred being a petty criminal rather than a murderer. He was beginning to regret becoming involved with this strange man. He was happy with the money he had made earlier,he did not want to become a hitman. James decided he wanted out,killing the mayor was too big a deal for him.Having made his decision he went to the address on the paper,sat at the bar and ordered a drink, and waited with trepidation for the time to come to face VIncent and tell him that he wanted out.

Vincent entered the bar in his usual form. Immediately he sensed something wrong with Mr. Viktors face. Was he planning to bail out?
"Hello Mr. Viktor. Is their a problem?", he asked coolly.

"Yes,as a matter of fact there is. I want out, I no longer want to perform the dirty work. I will not kill the mayor."

In Vincent's opinion, the most powerful motivator is the world was fear.
"I see", he said. Then he sent out almost all of the dark energy he had within him, hovering it in the room. Viktor's drink froze. The lights flickered. Vincent's cigarette went out. A kitchen knife resting on the counter nearby frosted over, as did the windows.
"You feel that?", Vincent asked, "Bit of a chill... What do you know about death, Mr. Viktor?"
Not waiting for an answer, he went on.
"Death is not a pleasant experience Mr. Viktor. There is no goal to it, no end. Just an pointless drifting... non-existence. And very...very... very cold"
He took the frozen knife and in a swift movement, pinned Viktors hand to the counter with it, also transferring the rest of the cold energy he had through the knife.
"It's the Mayor or you, Mr. Viktor.", Vincent said, "Make your decision."
Saying no more, he got up and walked out, leaving Viktor to sort himself out.

James immediately pulled the knife from his shaking hand. Vincent was pure evil, the coldness still filled his body. His teeth were chattering, he stood up and looked at his hand. There was no blood, the chill had frozen his blood supply, which was a small mercy at least. He needed warmth and his hand to be repaired before the blood started oozing out.
Remembering one of his “girls” lived closeby,he went to her apartment and pounded his other fist loudly on the door. Luckily for her she answered the door straight away. He had her attend to his hand, attaching butterfly strips to where the knife had invaded his skin. Now it was time for the matter of warmth to be seen to. James led her into the bedroom, turning the light off and closing the door as he proceeded to use their bodies to produce body heat.

Vincent walked over to the door of the room James had entered. He was dissatisfied with how James was taking this. He had to send a stronger message. Vincent had been happy with his current body, but he had to show James that failure was not tolerated. He left his inhabitant body and dragged it onto the wall opposite the door. He took the knife James had left and stabbed his old body with it, leaving the knife in its chest. He then wrote a short note in with the blood on a piece of paper, "The Cost of Failure". He left it on the ground and left.

James was warm now. The body heat had restored his circulation,and he had managed to fall asleep for a few hours,before waking up the sleeper beside him for a second round.
Fully satisfied after his three minute tumble, he desired a cigarette to complete his contentment. He got up out of bed and finding his pants in the dark,put them on before walking out of the bedroom. James tried to close the door behind him,for some reason it felt heavy. He turned on the light,and his eyes were drawn to the gory sight of the bloody flesh of Vincent.
'Holy crap," he yelled.
Seeing the note on the floor, he picked it up reading the words aloud.
"The cost of failure".
James ran into the bedroom, finished dressing and retrieving the note ran from the building.

Vincent stayed around the corner when he realized that James had already left the apartment. He waited for James's reaction.
